Unwind, explore and savour the Pelion Magic! Nestled in the heart of Pelion, in the picturesque village of Mouresi at an altitude of 421m, Silk Tree Cottage invites you to relax, explore, and truly savour the magic of the Centaurs' mountain. A tranquil haven far from the everyday, it's perfect for those seeking peace and an authentic connection with nature, offering views towards the mountains of Kissos and Agios Dimitrios.
Silk Tree Cottage comprises two traditional stone houses dating back to 1870. One of these historic buildings has been lovingly and respectfully restored, transformed into a charming guesthouse with four distinct rooms. The renovation was a delightful challenge, preserving the authentic character and stonework whilst integrating all modern comforts. The spaces masterfully blend traditional charm with contemporary functionality, creating the warm, inviting feel of a country home.
Tucked away just off the main road in the upper part of Mouresi village, the stone buildings enjoy absolute tranquillity. Surrounded by an acre of flourishing garden filled with pear, cherry, fig, and chestnut trees, plus vibrant flowers, it's a place where you can listen to birdsong and the gentle whisper of the Pelion breeze. The garden offers a restful vista and rejuvenates the spirit.
The guesthouse features four unique double rooms within the main building. Adjacent, in a separate studio, resides Jill, your English owner and host. Each room is thoughtfully decorated with distinct furnishings and objects, creating a unique atmosphere. All offer glimpses of the Aegean Sea through the foliage and come equipped with central heating (individual thermostat), LCD TV, mini-bar, mini Hi-Fi system, and a small selection of books.

The guesthouse is enveloped by a lush one-acre garden brimming with trees and flowers. A traditional stone-paved courtyard with ample seating connects the buildings, perfect for relaxing from April to October. The view transforms magically with the seasons: white pear blossoms frame the Aegean blue in spring, abundant green dominates summer, golden-yellow hues wash over autumn, and winter's bare trees reveal unobstructed sea views.
One of the most delightful moments of your stay is breakfast, served in the picturesque courtyards (weather permitting). Savour homemade jams, freshly baked bread, freshly squeezed orange juice, local cheeses, pancakes, regional sweets, and other tempting treats that will delight your palate and energise you for the day's adventures.
At Silk Tree Cottage, time flows effortlessly. The location is ideal for discovering the beauties of Pelion. Popular activities include swimming at the stunning nearby beaches (8 within easy reach!), walking the enchanting paths and cobbled tracks, sightseeing in picturesque villages, and even skiing in winter at the nearby ski centre. It's the perfect base for nature lovers and adventurers alike.
For your convenience, free parking is available on the premises. You can leave your car safely and perhaps only use it when you decide to explore further afield. After all, who can resist the allure of the walking trails starting practically from your doorstep, leading through forests to sun-dappled clearings and magnificent beaches?
